The document discusses costumes for two young women who own a restaurant. Costume one is a white shirt and black suit jacket, chosen to convey professionalism, innocence, and sophistication despite their youth. Costume two replaces the jacket with an A-line skirt to balance professionalism with femininity and confidence while embracing different body types. Black high heels and tights are included for traditional femininity and protection from the cooling autumn weather. The costumes aim to portray the welcoming yet mentally prepared attitudes needed to run a business successfully at a young age.

1. Costumes- WHY????

2. Costume 1

3. Costume 2

4. WHYYYYY?
• The reason why I have chosen my models to wear the suit is
because I want them to posses a sense of responsibility and
professionalism
• The white shirt connotes a sense of innocence, which even though
they are young girls/women, they are still pure and are opening the
restaurant for good intentions, not just for profit.
• The black suit jackets connote the sense of sophistication the two
girls have despite being young adults.
• Even though the girls are still young, but after opening up their own
business, they taken up responsibilities that adults cannot cope
with.
• Since the location of the restaurant is kind of “laid back” and
relaxing, the suit will contrast the two attitudes of the restaurant.
• The first attitude is that the girls are hoping that their customers
feel welcomed and comfortable while being at their bar.

5. When would the costumes be worn ?
• Costume one- Ask Africa Shoot and Tale of
two cities (Crystal)
• Costume two- Tale of two cities (Helena)

6. • While the second attitude is what they posse mentally, which is where
their professionalism comes in. Even though they are young women and
are from different countries/ having different backgrounds, they can just
be as independent and successful.
• The skirt of the second outfit tones down a bit o f the professionalism,
which brings out a rather feminine side of the girls.
• The skirt itself is an “A-line” styled skirt, which flatters all body shapes,
giving the character a sense of confidence and to embracing all body
types.
• The pair of black high heels is a traditional stereotype of what females
love. Despite being successful owners of a bar, the girls are still girls, they
love to look attractive and beautiful. Which in a way empowers females to
look professional, confident and enhances their features as well.
• The black tights are for styling, as the autumn is approaching, the weather
gets quite cold in the afternoon, and in order to ensure my models won’t
get cold, I think wearing tights helps that.
